after a 2 beta 3.1 public to 2 beta 4 public my theme looks bad

[ThePro]

hello, im having theme problems after beta 4 upgrade, theme looks totaly bugged i made an example for you to compare:

SMF 2 beta 3.1:



And SMF 2 beta 4:




what can i do to fix this?

Many changes were made to the theme system in the update between SMF 2 Beta 3.1 and SMF 2 Beta 4.0. Its likely that your custom theme is not compatible with SMF 2 Beta 4.0, so you will have to wait until the theme author updates it.

damm, i did a lot of modifications to it is there any way to manulay update it?

P.S: thats a fast reply

EDIT: is there any way to downgrade this theme to 1.1.6? since i feel that using an stable release would be better

[Nathaniel]

It will only work with SMF 1.1.6 if the theme author has made it for SMF 1.1.x, if it is a SMF 2 Beta only theme, then it will not work because there are a huge number of theme changes between SMF 1.1.x and SMF 2 Beta. Either way, you should ask the theme author if they are going to make it compatible with SMF 2 Beta 4.0.

ok i got 1.1.6 version BUT is how do i convert a beta 4 version to 1.1.6?

EDIT: i got the theme working on 1.1.6 but now i need to know how to convert

Its not an easy or 'official' process. The topic below discusses it:

I would still recomend asking the theme author to update.
